Visitors will be assisted and have their questions answered by a team of knowledgeable sales consultants at the Mercedes-Benz stand. For lovers of speed, the new AMG GT S is the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. Its newly developed AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine underscores the hallmark AMG driving performance, combining driving dynamics and first-class racetrack performance with superb everyday practicality and efficiency that sets new standards in the segment.

The first sports car engine with internally mounted turbochargers (“hot inside V”) and dry sump lubrication is configured in two output ratings, with the GT S launch model having an output rating of 375 kW (510 hp).

Its interior design embodies maximum emotion and sensual purity. Radically low, sporty proportions create a unique sense of spaciousness. Clearly drawn components and their authentic materials underscore the dynamic character and create instant excitement: anyone opening the door discovers an exciting interplay between the deep, sloping dashboard and a dominant, arched high centre console, a design which evokes emotions and impresses with its perfection.

Also sharing the spotlight at GulfRun, the all-new Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 4MATIC Coupé is an exciting interpretation of a four-door SUV coupé that combines the sportiness of a coupé with the strengths of an SUV.

Exceptional agility, distinctive engine sound and typical sports car acceleration are united with poise, assurance, tremendous pulling power and perfect traction. Its avant-garde exterior design and exclusive interior adds to its stand-out appeal – a unique creation for those looking for an all-round vehicle with high-performance technology and an emotional design.

The all-new GLE 63 4MATIC Coupé comes with a powerful, hand-built AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine and a wealth of AMG-tuned enhancements that add unrivalled performance to its sleek coupé styling and commanding SUV strength.
